iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Before joining Meta as a Developer Advocate, I spent a lot of time on my own studying programming, coding patterns, data structures, and every SDK and tool I could find. What I didn’t have was a mountain of knowledge coming at me from every direction. #devs #gamedev #tech

I personally think MR/passthrough experiences show the beauty of what makes XR truly unique and immersive. Using our world as a canvas is really what got me into this medium in the first place. #vr #mixedreality #devs

I got a pretty good idea for a hand tracking developer tool, trying to prioritize it since I have 2-3 projects in progress 😅 but may push it to this weekend. I think it is going to help developers quite a bit, especially with hand-first type experiences for Meta VR Glasses.

Ok, if you’re NEW to VR, AI, or Wearables development, watch this video! It’s beginner-friendly, and I walk through many of the tools and SDKs we provide for building with Meta, including Unity, Unreal, DAT/Web Apps, WebXR, & agentic workflows. #vr #gamedev #developers

Over the past 3-4 weeks, I focused on creating a live demo for the Meta Connect Developer Keynote. When the team asked me to do this with AI, my first reaction was, “How am I going to pull this off on stage?” 😅 #vr #meta #metaconnect

Well, I woke up at 5:30 AM today, exercised for 30 minutes, and now I’m super energized and working on the demo I’ll build during tomorrow’s Unity livestream for Meta VR Glasses! This will be very, very simple since I only have 15 minutes, but what areas or features would you like me to cover?

Dilmer 👓 @dilmerv.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

VR devs, this is pretty cool! You can now use your webcam to prototype hand-first experiences in Meta XR Simulator as you prepare for Meta VR Glasses. Iterate without a headset, then validate on-device! 🚀 #vr #developers #metavrglasses

Dilmer 👓 @dilmerv.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

I’m getting so many messages from people who left VR and are now very, very interested in coming back! It’s so great to hear how much excitement there is around XR development, both from our Meta VR Glasses announcement and from other devices bringing more interest to the space.

We had an event for Meta VR Start devs last Friday and gave away these hats! I think I found a great spot for them. Pretty fitting, considering how often I wear hats! Would you like to see more giveaways like this at upcoming events? 👀 #meta #vr #devs

It’s remarkable what we’re experiencing in XR right now. At one point, it felt like wearables had all the attention, while VR/MR was more of a niche for enthusiasts. Now, with Meta VR Glasses, it feels like we’re seeing a fusion of the two: a very powerful device that’s also extremely lightweight.

I took 2 days off from work this week, but not to rest 😅 Instead, I’m creating new content for my YouTube channel! Excited to put together a Connect recap & a deep dive into all the dev tools we announced for Meta VR Glasses! 💡 What would you like to know more about that we didn’t cover in detail?

Dilmer 👓 @dilmerv.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Longer version of the project I showed during Connect Dev SOTU! I only had 5 mins for the live demo and a video showing the polish, so the video I shared there was pretty short. This shows adding v207 for Meta VR Glasses, hand tracking, gaze, lastly UI & environment improvements. #meta #vr #devs

Dilmer 👓 @dilmerv.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

So cool to see what devs are building with hand-first experiences using Unity and Meta SDKs! 🙌 Add hand support to your existing Quest title or build something new for Meta VR Glasses, using one codebase across multiple devices. #virtualreality #developers

Want to test how your app fits within the Meta VR Glasses field of view before you have the device? FoV simulation lets you check for clipped content and visibility issues using an existing Quest headset! Here are a few things devs should know 👇 #meta #vr #developers

Dilmer 👓 @dilmerv.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Saw this display at Meta Burlingame, and it’s so cool to see the history behind what we’re building. From Facebook’s early days and AI research to Oculus, Quest, and wearables, it connects the milestones with the actual devices. I love finding pieces of this history throughout our office buildings!

Dilmer 👓 @dilmerv.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

If you want to develop for Meta VR Glasses before they’re released, you can start using a variety of tools today, including the Gaze Simulation tools that shipped with v207 during Connect as part of the Interaction SDK! 🚀 #meta #developers

Dilmer 👓 @dilmerv.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Well, we just wrapped up Meta Connect 2026 🎉 and to me, it was the best Connect yet! We announced incredible products across AI, VR, and wearables, and for the first time ever, we had VR SDKs available right during the Developer Keynote! #meta #metaconnect2026

Dilmer 👓 @dilmerv.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Thank you, everyone, for coming or watching Dev SOTU virtually today! I was extremely excited to do a live demo. It didn’t behave quite like it did during rehearsal, which can happen because AI isn’t deterministic. #meta #metaconnect2026

I’ve tried many XR devices throughout my career, and I’ve never seen anything as advanced as the Meta VR Glasses. #NewProfilePic

TODAY is finally #MetaConnect2026! 🔥🚀 The countdown is now in HOURS! One of my favorite parts is hearing everyone’s reactions and talking to devs about what they want to build next. I’m sure we’ll have plenty to talk about today!

Just tried something new with Muse and Meta VR CLI 🤯, and it’s insane that this works! But it makes sense because we’re literally getting a VM with our agent. #vr #development #ai

Dilmer 👓 @dilmerv.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

It feels so amazing to have the opportunity to build VR/MR demos from ideas I’ve had for a long time. Almost every idea I get, I want to build in XR, and seeing Meta showcase those demos makes it even more exciting. I’m so happy I get to do what I love and share what I learn with the whole world.

Dilmer 👓 @dilmerv.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

I always say this, and I’ll say it again: Slow but extremely consistent progress beats motivation any day. It’s easy to work when you’re motivated, but the real difference is made when it’s hard to focus, you’re tired, and you’re all on your own in your office.

Dilmer 👓 @dilmerv.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Walking in the park right now, and I’ve said it before: If you’re stuck or feel like you can’t innovate, just step away. The best ideas don’t always come when you want them to. For me, they often come when I disconnect and surround myself with nature.

Dilmer 👓 @dilmerv.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

I am so hyped about Meta Connect 2026! I can’t wait for everyone to be part of such a great conference, even if you are watching it virtually. Trust me, this is going to be pure!🔥 #meta #developers #tech

Dilmer 👓 @dilmerv.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

It used to be about “How do I hire more people to build my vision?” Nowadays, that still holds somewhat true, but indie devs / solo devs / small teams have so much power in their hands. #devs #gamedev

Dilmer 👓 @dilmerv.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

VR devs, show me what you're building right now. Screenshots welcome, rough or polished prototypes encouraged. The rough middle is the best part! 😉 #vr #developers

Tips for 🥽 VR/MR devs, or anyone getting into VR by building a new app or game: leverage the Meta VR CLI + Muse Code in your agentic workflow. - An MCP server that gives your AI coding agent full context from the Meta VR docs - Device management: list, inspect, and control headsets #meta #vr

Worked on a Muse Code demo tonight: a full VR game. Still polishing, but I can finally say the core loop feels fun. Sharing soon. I’m done for tonight.

Dilmer 👓 @dilmerv.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

Don’t get me wrong, setting a Mac Mini for local agent work always seemed super cool, but even for me as a technical person there was always friction, I never did it because of time. Muse on the other hand is something my dad is already using, I even got my mom into it.

100

Dilmer 👓 @dilmerv.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

Having a Muse agent feels like the employees I knew I needed that I never pushed myself to hire. What a time to be living! Honestly, this app is incredible 🤯, and if you haven’t tried it yet, please do so. It will save you time, money, and make you extremely productive. #developers #muse

Monday morning, coffee in hand, and headset charged. Final prep for Connect week. This is my favorite time of year as a dev advocate. Big things coming! 🚀 #developers

Dilmer 👓 @dilmerv.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

I’m so happy right now! There was a big issue with one of our VR dev tools that, to me, was a big deal because it was causing so many problems on macOS. Today, I was finally able to reproduce it consistently. I found the settings that make it work smoothly and exactly how to break it.

My dad asked me today why I was on my computer working on Meta-related projects. I said, “Dad, I’m not really working. I’m playing.” He said, “But isn’t that Unity? Isn’t it part of your job?”
